To use it as a screen saver is a little harder than using it as background on your desk top, thats the picture thats there when your computer opens up, ok so this is the desktop background not the screen saver 1. go to control panel in your start menu 2 find and open display this is easy to find if you use control panel in the CLASSIC view 3 click the desk top tab 4 then click the browse button this will open up your photos folder go through that to find your members badge 5 click once on the Skelly picture this puts a blue line around it 6 then click the open button this should then show you what it will look like on your screen if you are happy with it 7 click APPLY if you dont click apply it wont work 8 then click OK I just did this and skelly is on my screen but because the picture is larger he is just a little unclear or fuzzy so I went back into the control panel steps 1 to 3 and then chose the center button and he looks a lot better (the choice is tile, centre or stretch ) screen saver in next message Bleggy |

Hi Bleggy, I hope you don't mind me butting in but there is a much simpler way to set the desktop theme, just go to " my pictures " right click the photo you want and select the option " set as desktop back ground ".....................done thethinman |

LOL....................just being polite. Limpet42, the screen saver is not that difficult either, just right click anywhere on the desktop, then click properties, select the screen saver tab, then from the dropdown list choose " my pictures slideshow " then click settings and then click browse, select the picture folder you want to display click apply and then OK and its all done thethinman |

Hi "thethinman", Yes I know it did! When I was on holidays at my grandparent's I use to go to the dances with Ray, Linda and my first cousin Ray. Being a city girl I was asked to dance with just about every guy there! LOL |

Thinman thank you for sorting out this one, I just ran out of time to get back to it, screen savers are not something I do every day and trust me to go the hard way round it, I always used to do things the hard way seems I've gone back in time !!! Bleggy |

Your very welcome Bleggy, but I'm a bit slow on the uptake, it took me ages to realise that there was an easy way of doing things.........................lol Enforcer, I bet you, Ray and Linda, used to go to the Palais on a Saturday night and to St Patricks Hall on a Sunday and if you did, I will bet you have also met me......................lol thethinman |
